Celebrating its tenth anniversary, Samsung has today officially launched the S10 series of smartphones, along with its first foldable smartphone: Galaxy Fold, at the Galaxy Unpacked event in San Francisco. The all-new Galaxy S10 series includes three smartphones, namely: Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and S10e, which are priced accordingly and aim at catering to almost all sections of consumer groups. For Samsung, the tenth anniversary marks the introduction of some fascinating technologies like foldable smartphones, Infinity-0 Display, and Punch-Hole Camera, to name a few.

Galaxy S10 Design

The Galaxy S10 sports a 6.1-inch Quad HD+ Curved Dynamic AMOLED with a 19:9 aspect ratio, coming in at a pixel density of 550ppi. For protection, the display comes with a Gorilla Glass 6 protection that prevents it from scuffs and scratches. The S10 is offered in four different colours: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, and Flamingo Pink.

Galaxy S10 Specifications

Under the hood, the S10 is powered by either the Samsung’s Exynos 9820 chipset (in Europe) or the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 (in Asia, USA), 8GB of RAM, and 128GB or 512GB of internal storage (expandable up to 512GB using microSD). Apart from that, the S10 comes with IP68 dust and water resistance and AKG-tuned speakers to provide a crisp and high-quality output sound. With the new S10 series, Samsung has also hopped on to the bandwagon, like most of the other smartphone manufacturers and adopted the USB Type-C for better connectivity and increased transfer and charging speeds. Additionally, it has also included the reverse-wireless charging capabilities to the S10 series, which can be used to charge other devices that support wireless charging. Although most smartphone manufacturers have ditched the headphone jack a long time back, Samsung refrains itself from doing so, and resorts with retaining the 3.5mm headphone jack on the S10 series.

The S10 comes with a 3400mAh battery, which is something that a lot of the customers would not be happy with, especially when compared to some of the other smartphone manufacturers which are going overboard with battery capacities of up to 4000mAh.
